Another update from Antwerp

28/06/2014 |

As the DAA project draws to a close, we would like to give you one final update of what's happening in Antwerp.

The concept for self-organisation that has been introduced here, has now been developed further and has been tested in one service centre. This has resulted in a new concept poster, which you can see above (Dutch only).

The idea is that service centres will create a platform for the ideas and talents of seniors (yellow arrow up). By developing their own ideas and talents through activities in the service centres, the elderly become co-producers en co-owners of the service portfolio offered by the centres. This opportunity for self-organisation helps people to become active, to visit their local service centre and to engage in meaningful social contacts.

The DAA project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and made possible by the INTERREG IVC programme.The Interregional Cooperation Programme INTERREG IVC, financed by the European Union's Regional Development Fund, helps regions of Europe work together to share experience and good practice in the areas of innovation, the knowledge economy, the environment and risk prevention. EUR 302 million is available for project funding but, more than that, a wealth of knowledge and potential solutions are also on hand for regional policy-makers.
